Nah, that single red horn definitely indicates he's just a big ol' red fucker.

Expect Allison to get smacked around like a ragdoll before punching him so hard his mask shatters.

Probs just red. Being burly as gently caress is their thing, right?

Also it would be really disappointing from a setting standpoint if everything less than ebon got Worfed because "oh, Alison beat an ebon once and they're the strongest so all serious devil adversaries must be ebons now"

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
This is the arc where Allison learns how to win fights without relying on Maybe This Will Kill Me, Maybe It Won't, Let's Find Out. Which means her "competent heroine" weight class is still somewhere around middle-of-the-road devils, as opposed to her "furious dumbass" weight class, which is gods.

Something might be going on here - so Allison reckons she could take the angel, who seemed pretty evenly matched with White Chain last time. So at least she thinks she's better than White Chain already? And she didn't seem to know the angel (Delicious something?) got Wheeled, which White Chain definitely know. She might have run off on her own here?

(Unless they just assumed she'd hired a new one)

Yeah, I'm assuming in the last year Allison has had more run ins with Vash because in their first meeting she was unconscious.

Yeah but in their second meeting she was screaming and crying a lot. Much better circumstances to learn and remember who he is.

Reflect on the distinction between demons and devils. The latter is a classification of beings composed of the Hot Black Flame, whereas the former appears to be a normative judgement of some kind.

Demon != devil. If you're bad, you're a demon. Husband tree was definitely bad. Cio is good (now), so she is not a demon.

The wiki is pretty spottily updated, and I've noticed a lot of things it quite plainly gets wrong. At one point early on in the comics' conception, demon and devil MIGHT have meant the same thing, but it's pretty clear reading over the comic "devil" is a specific type of entity and "demon" is a common pejorative.

Since nobody bothered to look at the wiki, it says the exact opposite: http://killsixbilliondemons.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:3228

Devils and demons are now the same thing
